Application filed March 29, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it lmown that Lit/man; lEAnLL, a oitimen of the United States.residing: at Rhinelandor, in the county oi? Oneida and State (IllvVisoonsin, have invented. new and useful Improvements in CulinaryDevices. oi Which the following is speoifieatimi.

This invention comprehends the provision of an implement designed foruse in making pies, and embodies a handle upon which is rotatablymounted spaced devices, one of which is used for perforating; the top oithe pie the other of which used for crimping and trimming the edgethereof.

llhe nature and advantages of the inven tion will he better understoodwhen the int lowing detailed description read in connection with theaccompanying drawing, the invention residing in the eomhination.construction, and arrangement oil? parts as claimed.

In the drawing forming part of this application, like numerals ofreference indi cate similar parts in the several views and wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the implement forming the subject matterof my in vention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view.

Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of the perforating devise.

Figure t is a similar view oi? the orimper and trimmer.

Referring to the drawing in detail, l0 indioates a handle which may heconstructed of: any suitable material and also vary in size, the handleheinp; preferably formed from wire and provided with yolres ll. and i2respeotively, the latter :uranged at an angle or inclination to the yokel I. Imu naked in the yoke 10 is a roller 1.3 which is oorriuyated as at14 For a purpose to he hereinafter deserihed, while carried by thisroller is disl-r l5.

Journaled in the yolre 12 is a roller 16 which supports spaced seriesoi? blades, the outermost series of blades being indicated at 11.7 andslightly ourved as shown, while a. oom niratively large -.ul;.tin,

Serial No. 456,779.

the intermediate series ol? blades indicated at 18 are preferablystraight.

In use of the implement, the perforating}; devise including: the roller16 is moved 1i glitly over the top oi the pie during; which time theblades 1'? and i8 perforate the top in a manner to permit of escape oisteam as will he understood. and subsequent to this operation, theimplement reversed in the hand oi? the user so that the corrugatedroller 13 can he run. about the e r (it the pie to crimp the same.During the implement the cutting disk 15 simultaneously trims the edgeof the pie. The implement is very simple in construction and can, bemanufactured and sold at a very nominal cost, and can also he veryoonveniently manipulated for the purposes intended.

While it is believed that i roin the tor-er o ing description the natureand admnte of the invention will. he read". t, l: desire to have itunderstood th limit myself to what is herein shown and described, andthat such changes may he resorted to when desired, as fell within tscope of what is claimed.

What I claim is:

[in implement of the character deserihml comprising a handle, a yokeformed hy one end. of the handle and arranged in ti 0. same planetherewith, a seeon oke arranged he neath and obliquely di osed withrespeot to the first mentioned yoke, said soeond yoke including" areduced POltlOll arranged pan allel with and in contacting engaoementwith said handle. a tying element \v tpped around said parts to hold thela gether, a roller journaled in the first men tioned yolro, said rollerheinp; oorrlurjaljed. a cutting disk carried hy the roller and ranged atone end thereof, and a hlm e-(l roller journaled in the other ol saidyohrs. certain blades of the latter :nentiorwl roller heing ourverl andother blades eta-a t for the purpose speoified.
